A/n: drabble time! That's all. I know it's short, but please review! This is alternate red!verse, with altLincoln/altLivia. They're good together. The writers better be taking that somewhere...
Promises
At first, Lincoln thinks that she is unbreakable, inhuman, that is she is left unfazed by flesh eating humans, being cooked from inside out and alternate universes.
It takes him all of two seconds to realized he's wrong. They were standing in front of a high school. The lunch bell had just rung and students were swarming out of class when they suddenly noticed the vortex in the middle of the campus tearing away the life around it.
Then it was chaos. Thunder broke in the sky – colors, like the northern lights danced above them. A moment of beauty amongst chaos. Papers flew everywhere. Kids took off, running for their lives not waiting for their friends, teachers or boyfriends. It was every man for himself.
The protocol had been initiated. The wormhole was growing before their eyes. Lincoln was running, Olivia in tow behind him. Her red hair trailed behind her. She never looked back.
They reached safety, the car. They watched the silver canister in silence. First the lights flashed yellow, then orange and then red. Olivia stood and faced the school. Lincoln looked at her just as the amber began to spread over the campus. He saw her fear, a flash of anger, and he saw sadness.
In that moment he decided that she was human after all, but not for a second did it make him love her any less. He felt something tug on his hand. He looked at her and waited until she finally looked at him. He knew her mind was running at a million thoughts a minute. He glanced down at the hand that she had so timidly placed in his. He squeezed it and looked into her eyes. It's you and me & everything is going to be alright.
